“I am ready to let it go,” the “Bon Appétit” singer, 32, said on The Thrive Global Podcast. “I forgive her and I’m sorry for anything I ever did, and I hope the same from her. I think it’s actually like, I think it’s time. There are bigger fish to fry, and there are real problems in the world. You know what I’m saying?”

“I love her, and I want the best for her,” Perry continued. “And I think she’s a fantastic songwriter, and I think that if we, both her and I, can be representatives of strong women that come together despite their differences, I think the whole world is going to go like, ‘Yeah, well we can do this.’ I don’t know. Maybe I don’t agree with everything she does and she doesn’t agree with everything I do, but I just really, truly want to come together in a place of love and forgiveness and understanding and compassion.”

The pop stars’ much-publicized feud began a few years ago over a conflict with their backup dancers. “She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me,” Swift, 27, claimed in a 2014 interview with Rolling Stone, though she did not identify Perry as the entertainer in question. More recently, Perry called out Swift for trying to “assassinate” her character.
